Hi!
My previous/alt account is yetAnotherUser@feddit.de which will be abandoned soon.

I wish they had tested all 8 scenarios: Male/female participant, male/female body, catcalled/not catcalled.
Because even as a man I don’t feel comfortable being alone at a subway station at night. Nor can I imagine would I then enjoy being catcalled.
I wonder how much your VR body seen in a mirror affects this. My gut says not a lot but more data would’ve been great.
Now, if your own VR body does affect your reaction there must be bodies which maximize/minimize reactions. That’d be fun to test. You don’t even have to limit yourself to human bodies, what if you’re, say, a dinosaur (with body height still being the same)?

To be fair, I think rivers and landscapes are equally flawed. Rivers are an extremely boring topic and landscapes tend to be inside a single country.
Birds are the best in my opinion.


What do you mean?
Cars just do that sometimes.
Unless you learned German in Austria-Hungary between 1879 and 1901 of course.


Could it make testing less conclusive? Part of testing is to see whether people actually enjoy the game. And I’d conjecture immersion-breaking placeholder assets could lead to worse testing reviews.


The opposite, you have a right to privacy even after being sentenced. Such a registry sounds like it would drastically increase recidivism rates by making you unemployable and unable to form a social life.


Are those the same people that oppose switching to electric stoves because they supposedly perform so much worse?
It seems like the vast majority of US-Americans oppose this which doesn’t make sense if they never cook.
Occasionally Imgur is blocked but you can just switch the VPN to a less populous country and it will not be blocked. Still annoying though.


“Not feeling well? I’ll give you something to not feel well!”
Sorry, I didn’t mean minor in that sense.
I meant more like in the sense of not exceeding a single chapter in a history book. It did happen and was significant – but overshadowed by WW1 happening shortly thereafter and ending German colonization right then and there (except for WW2 but that’s another topic).
I can only speak for Germany’s history education.
Yes it did touch the scramble for Africa and Germany’s colonies. But colonialism is a comparitively minor part of that period (1890 - 1920) for Germany so it was the focus for a couple of lessons only. The genocide was covered - but again, only for like a single lesson or two.
There’s just a bit too much history to cramp it down into 90 minutes per week and go over in detail, especially since teaching about the world wars is a priority.
I mean, we literally crammed the period 1970ish to reunification within a single lesson at the very end of 12th grade because we ran out of time.


Mostly because Apple’s update policy is superior to A LOT of Android companies. OEMs are really slow when patching known vulnerabilities.
Quick study I found when trying to find evidence:
Example from that study:
Compared to the top three OEMs we examined so far, Google is the one with the most stable support behavior. All of the Pixel devices receive monthly security updates without any delay or missed SPLs [Security Patch Levels]
It’s utterly insane this is noteworthy. Not delaying security updates for KNOWN vulnerabilities should not be exemplary.


You cannot call them assholes either. Because free speech does not include verbal attacks such as insults, bullying or hate speech. Calling someone a Nazi without substantial evidence is a pretty obvious case of an insult.
It’s not perfect, though at least Germany’s free speech and human rights protections are much greater than, say, Canada’s where a simple majority could just decide to criminalize all speech by invoking a certain clause.


Huh, I couldn’t find anything about that anywhere online. Are you sure that’s the norm in Latin America? Because Microsoft says that key is the normal apostrophe (U+0027): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/keyboards/kbdla


It isn’t. But they can take you to court and you’d have to demonstrate it wasn’t intended as an insult and instead as an opinion backed by substantial evidence.
That’s fair, I only really glossed over the study.
But still, have they actually collected data to support illiciting these emotions works as a “potential strategy to promote behavioral change”? In the study, I haven’t found anything like a pre and post experiment survey showing a different attitude towards catcalling. In my mind that’s required to demonstrate the VR experiment is such a strategy.
